Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects
(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United
States Code, as amended by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub.
L. 104–13), the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes periodic summaries of
proposed projects being developed for
submission to OMB under the
receive, through personal interviews of
a stratified random sample of HC
patients. The survey pre-test, which is
the subject of this Notice, will serve as
a pilot test of the survey instrument,
survey sampling methodologies and
procedures. This pre-test will also
include cognitive interviews to ensure
that the questions are being understood
as was intended; as a result, it is
estimated that each pre-test patient
interview will take 2 hours.
The Patient Survey being pre-tested
builds on previous periodic User-Visit
Surveys which were conducted to learn
about the process and outcomes of care
in CHCs and HCH programs. The
original questionnaires were derived
from the National Health Interview
Survey (NHIS) and the National
Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care
Survey (NHAMCS) conducted by the
National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS). Conformance with the NHIS
and NHAMCS allowed comparisons
between these NCHS surveys and the
previous CHC and HCH User-Visit
Surveys. The new Patient Survey was
developed using a questionnaire
methodology similar to that used in the
past, and so will allow some
longitudinal comparisons for CHCs and
HCH programs with the previous UserVisit survey data, including monitoring
of process outcomes over time. In
addition, this survey will include
interviews of patients drawn from
migrant populations and from residents
of public housing, populations not
included in the previous surveys.
The estimated response burden for the
pilot test is as follows:
